Wounded CBS reporter flown to Germany

FRANKFURT 
A CBS Radio News correspondent wounded in eastern Afghanistan was flown to a U.S. military hospital in Germany on Sunday for additional medical treatment, the military and her employer said.

Cami McCormick was wounded Friday when the Army vehicle she was in struck a roadside bomb in Logar province. CBS said she was in stable condition after receiving treatment at a U.S. Army field hospital and the main health facility at Bagram Air Base north of Kabul.

CBS said McCormick was flown to the U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, which receives wounded from Afghanistan and Iraq.

Landstuhl spokeswoman Marie Shaw confirmed that McCormick had arrived at the hospital but gave no details on her condition, citing patient privacy.

McCormick is an award-winning New York-based correspondent who has worked for CBS since 1998.

The Afghan Taliban's increasing use of roadside bombs has raised the risk to Western troops and to journalists traveling with them.

Two Associated Press journalists were wounded this month near Spin Boldak in southern Afghanistan.

Journalists have sometimes been brought to Landstuhl for treatment in the past. Among them was CBS News journalist Kimberly Dozier, who was injured in 2006 when a Baghdad car bomb exploded, killing two of her colleagues and a U.S. Army captain.
